He certainly has been having a crisis, and as someone else mentioned here, recently read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and tried to mimic the writing.

This is exactly the kind of snarky, deflationary attitude that the article is essentially writing in reaction to. The lack of faith that a "little blog" about good governance in an age entirely absent it could actually lead to something meaningful. Or indeed that a blog itself could be meaningful - that words and ideas might after all have some worth.
